We then used both ColorMeastro and Photoshop to sharpen the image and convert to CMYK before proofing to a Cromalin. The results from ColorMaestro are absolutely outstanding. The detail it managed to drag out of the image that Photoshop couldn't was amazing. The Photoshop image looks very soft by comparison ( and up until now we have been completely satisfied with those results ). The results from 16 bit files are claimed to be even better but we haven't tested that yet. <
Hi Steve, Can you please crop out a high res but smallish section which has saturated/detailed areas of critical note, of both tagged CMYK files and send them offlist to me for evaluation/inspection, please? Failing that, posting a link to RGB web versions for side by side inspection? Or detailed info about the conversion steps/settings/variables used in Photoshop vs. the other software. Is CM colour managed by ICC methods?
